NRC Letter, Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 -Interim Staff Response to Reevaluated Flood Hazards Submitted in Response to 1 O CFR 50.54(f) Information Request-Flood-Causing Mechanism Reevaluation (TAC No. MF6111), dated March 31, 2016 On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued Reference 1 to request information associated with Term Task Force (NTTF) Recommendation 2.1 for Flooding.
One of the Required Responses in Reference 1 directed licensees to submit a Flood Hazard Reevaluation Report (FHRR). For Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 the FHRR was submitted on August 13, 2015 (Reference 2). Additional information was provided with Reference
: 3. Per Reference 4, the NRC considers the reevaluated flood hazard to be "beyond the current design/licensing basis of operating plants". Concurrent to the flood hazard reevaluation, Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 developed and implemented mitigating strategies in accordance with NRC Order EA-12-049, 11 0rder Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Design-Basis External Events 11* In Reference 5, the NRC affirmed that licensees need to address the reevaluated flooding hazards within their mitigating strategies for basis (BOB) external events, including the reevaluated flood hazards. This requirement was confirmed by the NRC in Reference
: 6. Guidance for performing mitigating strategies flood hazard assessments (MSFHAs) is contained in Appendix G of Reference 7, endorsed by the NRC in Reference
: 8. For the purpose of the MSFHAs and in Reference 6, the NRC termed the reevaluated flood hazard, summarized in Reference 9, as the "Mitigating Strategies Flood Hazard Information" (MSFHI). Reference 7, Appendix G, describes the MSFHA for flooding as containing the following elements:
* Section G.2 -Characterization of the MSFHI
* Section G.3 -Comparison of the MSFHI and FLEX DB Flood
* Section G.4.1 -Assessment of Current FLEX Strategies (if necessary)
* Section G.4.2 -Assessment for Modifying FLEX Strategies (if necessary)
* Section G.4.3 -Assessment of Alternative Mitigating Strategies (if necessary)
* Section G.4.4 -Assessment of Targeted Hazard Mitigating Strategies (if necessary)
In Reference 9, the NRC concluded that the "reevaluated flood hazards information, as summarized in the Enclosure
[Summary Table of the Reevaluated Flood Hazard Levels], is suitable for the assessment of mitigating strategies developed in response to Order EA-12-049" for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1. The enclosure to this letter provides the Mitigating Strategies Assessments for Flooding Report for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1. This assessment determined that the current FLEX strategies, as described in Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Final Integrated Plan for Mitigating Strategies NRC Order EA-12-049, can be implemented and will function as designed considering the reevaluated flood hazards for the site.
